5 Minute Mindfulness

Five minutes is enough to come back to yourself.

5MM turns evidence-based mindfulness practice into activities small enough to fit inside a quick break, an office visit or a classroom session.

Our history

Implementing mindfulness across multiple settings.

2007

Born in clinical care

Designed and implemented between 2007–2012 by Robyn Hussa Farrell inside eating-disorder and substance-use treatment settings, 5MM was initially created as an adjunct to psychotherapeutic sessions.

2010

Trained trainers

Since 2010, Robyn has trained thousands of trainers in medical, educational and youth development settings. Today the curriculum is distributed through health partners, youth development organizations and has reached over 10,000 educators, parents, students, and veterans.

2015

Digitized through Sharpen

Beginning in 2015 Robyn began digitizing the entire program and curriculum so it could be easily scaled through the Sharpen DTX platform where educators, parents, and youth can all engage in the program at the click of a button.
